Celica Forums General Discussion General Last Generation Celica

as i was at the dealership few times. having my gts fixed. i've been talking to this 1 sale personel. he told me that the TC taking over the celica's market, that this year is the last celica's made. he also said a few thousand's will only be made for next year, for the celica to slowly diminish

repost...we all know this

just found out myself.damn i'm late

yup late . but at least you know now. ... and knowing is half the battle GI JOE



sorry feeling a little goofy right now.

this makes the celi's even more rare. glad i got the last year.. that means they can't change anything, cause everytime i get a new car, a couple months later there is a newer better model.

oh yea its the last yr for the mr2 also.. But the value of these cars will go up.. just like the supra.. wasnt much demad for them but now everyone wants one.. same thing with the celica and mr2

your new so i dont blame you

This is like the 6th car that I've bought has been discontinued! I have to appoligize to everyone, for I feel it's my fault.

79 Celi
85 Ford EXP gone
79 Civic
87 200SX Turbo gone
87 Fiero gone
93 MX3 gone
97 Neon
95 Talon gone
03 Celi soon to be gone

sad to see the celica go

i will keep my celi forever

yup keepin my 92 gt and 03gts forver also.

It's all good SGTS. Eddy

yeah,just like many other cars that faded. but when the Celica's come back! it sure's hell worth the wait, as did the 7th generation.

once again, they are only canning the Celica in America.. if you REALLY want a new one you could always import a Euro..

they will stop making them here, not in japan someone will import one sooner or later

There are still a lot of celica after it's last production. It may take years for it to become rare but all i'm sure is it will never be like the supra. i dunno...maybe supra for speed and celica for looks who knows...

If we are lucky it will be like the Supra and get mad aftermarket support from evryone and will become the awesomest car ever

There is not much hope for 7th Celica to be like Supra or MR2
(given the same period of time from the day it is discontinued)
Few important things for highly collectible sport cars:
1) Rarity (Production number, sales)
2) Racing Herritage
3) The car should be ahead of its time, concerning power, design, technology, etc..
4) Distinctiveness, one should be unique
Don't get me wrong, I like Celica A LOT!
It always took left my eyes from the road when I see one.
But, to be realistic.
7th Celicas are mass produced.
Hundred of thousands of them are on the streets.
They don't have racing herritage.
They are fantastic car, fun to drive, but not unique or powerful enough.
Many people buy them as daily drivers.
Truth hurts, and I hate that.

It sucks that they're gonna stop making celi's. I just ordered my 2005 GTS last night at the dealership so will be trading in my 02 for that. I'm not so sure that the celica will be gone forever though guys. My gf's brother works at a toyota dealership down here in CO, and he told me that Toyota is going to stop for a couple years and let the TC take over. But he also told me that there are plans for an 8th gen. celica with a whole new body style in 2008. So it will be interesting to see if that is true at all. Hope to keep chatting with you guys. Take it easy.

It sucks that they waited for the last year to come out with the tsunami edition.

The celica will be back. Not any time soon, but it will be back.
